Jeb Bush really did that? Wow. And people out here trying to say the GOP really isn't racist. That video proves otherwise. Pandering to them white voters!

In other news, Preibus shows how unscrupulous the GOP is when it comes to being bold and not backing a candidate most of the party has come out against. Not that the Democrats are any better, but at least their voter base will go out and vote for another party if they have a shit candidate.

I'm voting Libertarian if Bernie doesn't get the nomination. Even if he wins, I might vote Libertarian anyway depending on how things go before the general election.

Would Libertarianism be the best approach to governing a country as large and diverse as the USA? Let the states govern themselves, and only involve the federal government on abuses of power, civil rights, or civil liberties.

States CANNOT be trusted to rule themselves. Southern states are making that argument right now. Seriously, just look at what nonsense they've been putting on the agenda since SCOTUS weakened the Civil Rights Act and the federal government's role in making sure these states don't go back to their racist as fuck roots.

Seriously, the South is just the shining example in why letting states rule themselves is a terrible idea. Since the 19th Century we've had examples as to why it's a terrible--TERRIBLE--idea.

Shit, even if you gave more liberal states like New York and California dominion to set rules for themselves, one would be 100% run by developers and cronyism in the state capital while the other would be nothing but NIMBY assholes breaking up their state into 7 other states taking away money from minority-populated cities and having technocrats rule it all, respectively.

Well he said let them rule themselves outside of civil injustices, abuse of power, ect.. For those things you must intervene, and have the power to do so. Not just do what you want, reinstate slavery, and legalize the selling of rocket launchers. lol. He pretty much said what is already the case right now. States make their own laws unless its completely out of hand/unconstitutional, ect...

Supposedly some BLM supporters showed up to one of his events, and were throwing rocks at people and yelling. Some lady got injured, blah blah. Jeb took it in his own hands to run one of them down. Thats who he caught i guess. Was trying to hold her until the police came, she bit him, he punched her in the face.

But thats just from the description. There is no news on this video at all that ive seen in my quick searching.

You would think this would have shown up on the news.
Ex-Presidential candidate ground and pounding a woman while 2 other white males hold her down lol Holy shit.

Eh. For decades if not over a century the weekends are the deadzones for news. Even with the advent of the internet, unless it's a HUGE story it's not gonna get press that quickly. Since Bush is out of the race, who cares?

Besides, this is some rinky-dink YouTube channel. He probably doesn't have it marketed correctly so news stations can pick it up with ease.

hatin' ass Xvideos always tryin to take a brotha shine. i can't wait to sue you .

Forget trying to pass for normal. Follow your geekdom. Embrace nerditude. In the immortal words of Lafcadio Hearn, a geek of incredible obscurity whose work is still in print after a hundred years, “Woo the muse of the odd.” You may be a geek. You may have geek written all over you. You should aim to be one geek they’ll never forget. Don’t aim to be civilized. Don’t hope that straight people will keep you on as some sort of pet. To hell with them. You should fully realize what society has made of you and take a terrible revenge. Get weird. Get way weird. Get dangerously weird. Get sophisticatedly, thoroughly weird, and don’t do it halfway. Put every ounce of horsepower you have behind it. Don’t become a well-rounded person. Well-rounded people are smooth and dull. Become a thoroughly spiky person. Grow spikes from every angle. Stick in their throats like a pufferfish. -Bruce Sterling

I'm pretty sure that's not Jeb Bush in that video. He's dumb but he's not that dumb, and this guy looks smaller than Jeb.

That said, at this point, if it ain't gonna be Bernie, I say let's get Trump in office. Things gotta get worse before they get better right? And $hillary is basically just more of the same, scumbag that she is.

The Republican establishment and the Electoral College will not allow Trump to win. The Democratic delegate system will not allow Bernie to win. The system is rigged and the masses don't care. America is fucked.

I can't say I will feel sorry for the Democratic Party if they lose this election to Trump. Common sense should tell you that trying to unify behind someone with over 50% unfavorable ratings, under investigation by the FBI, and constant flip-flopping is a bad idea. Republicans at least went through all their options before settling on Cruz and eventually Trump.

What are you talking about? Trump was forced upon the GOP. Shit, he's not exactly innocent either. He's being sued AND under investigation over Trump University, Republicans aren't exactly backing him confidently, he's getting relentlessly hounded by the media (though it should be this way of any presidential candidate), and he's already at odds with the House Speaker.

Prominent Hillary Clinton surrogate Ed Rendell is coming under fire for suggesting that "ugly women" will help doom Donald Trump's chances in November.

Rendell, a former Pennsylvania governor, was making a point to The Washington Post about Trump's untoward comments about unattractive women.

"Will he have some appeal to working-class Dems in Levittown or Bristol? Sure," Rendell told the Post in a story published Wednesday. "For every one he'll lose 1½, two Republican women. Trump's comments like 'You can't be a 10 if you're flat-chested,' that'll come back to haunt him. There are probably more ugly women in America than attractive women. People take that stuff personally."

I love how she's like "Well you're entitled to your opinion" at the end, making it pretty clear she's already in Clinton's pocket and just brought him on to look fair. The Clinton political machine has become increasingly heavy handed lately. If they aren't talking about how Bernie Sanders clearly can't win the primary, they're going out of their way to paint Sanders and Trump as dangerous and irresponsible.

There's a rumor floating around that one of the Koch brothers might donate to Gary Johnson's campaign should he take the nomination. I hope so, as that bit of funding could be an important step toward giving the Libertarian party the publicity it needs to run against Trump and Clinton. People want an option that isn't an inflated, corrupt authoritarian, and the Libertarians might be the answer people flock to. I can only hope the demand will at least get the Libertarian nominee to the debate stage alongside Trump and Clinton so the people are aware that a third option does exist.
